Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Wax CO₂ Extract is a powerful and refreshing botanical wax obtained from the aromatic leaves of Eucalyptus Globulus, extracted using supercritical CO₂ technology. This solvent-free process gently concentrates the plant’s volatile aromatic molecules together with its natural leaf waxes and lipophilic constituents, resulting in a clean, full-spectrum extract that captures eucalyptus in a refined, long-lasting wax form.
Eucalyptus Globulus is globally recognized for its unmistakable cool, camphoraceous aroma, traditionally used in functional body care, respiratory balms, and aromatic preparations. While steam-distilled eucalyptus essential oil is sharp and highly volatile, the CO₂ wax extract offers a rounder, greener, and more persistent expression. It tempers volatility while preserving freshness, making it particularly valuable for solid formulations, alcohol-free products, and luxury botanical skincare where both performance and aroma longevity are essential.
